Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 454 Can't You Get Some Fresh Lines?
"Well, I made a note of it." Zhou Chong's hostility still couldn't be worn away, maybe it was right to separate him from Zhou Wen. "When you go to Liaodong, you also need to keep in mind that you must think twice before doing things, and you must take care of the whole when you do it."

"Zhou Chong has made big mistakes twice, how dare you not keep in mind Patriarch's instruction, if you want to make Zhou Chong again, you will have no face and see Patriarch again." Zhou Chong kowtowed.The first time was in Woniugang, and Yan Shi was brought back, making Yan Shi think that he was an undercover agent sent by Zhou Cang to Lu Bu; the second time was in Xuzhou, without considering the feelings and face of Zhao Yu and other officials, so that the two An old man went to work.

"Zixing, send Zhou Chong off for me."

Zhou Cang was really tired after rushing on the road without sleep all night. He didn't have the energy and thought to see Bu Zhi again. When he returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, he fell into a deep sleep. Zhou Cang didn't wake up until after noon.Time is not forgiving, 44 years old is no longer the 20-year-old who can fight continuously for several nights without sleep.After lunch, Zhou Cang invites Bu Zhi to come and Zhou Wen to accompany him.

"Mr. Zishan is not to blame for being neglected due to his busy schedule." While speaking, Zhou Cang couldn't hide his exhaustion.

"The Marquis of Liao speaks seriously. Zhongxuan accompanied me to travel around Xuzhou in the past few days, and Bu Zhi benefited a lot." Bu Zhi secretly looked at Zhou Wen, is this the number one counselor next to Zhou Cang, and then looked at Deng standing beside Zhou Cang Ai, this is Zhou Cang's direct disciple, there is nothing outstanding about his appearance.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhou Cang said: "In Yedu, Zishan has something important to discuss with me, what can I tell you?"

"Who does Marquis Liao think Cao Cao is?"

Zhou Cang smiled slightly, it's all old tricks, why can't we add some fresh lines? "Cao Mengde has the ambition to rule the world, and also has the ability to wipe out the princes."

"Don't the Marquis of Liao worry about Xuzhou?"

Zhou Wen interjected: "As for Xuzhou's affairs, we have prepared for Liaohou. Why isn't Zishan worried about Jiangdong?"

It is Zhou Wen's consistent style to be sharp externally, not to mention that Bu Zhi found an inappropriate entry point.Bu Zhi felt aphasia, and immediately changed his words: "Hehe, Yuan Fang misunderstood me, not only Xuzhou and Jiangdong, but also the world, the Han Dynasty."

"Does Zishan know that Cao Cao intends to go south to Jingzhou?"

"No, I abolished the xiang system and set up the Sangong, and now Cao Cao has restored the xiang system to monopolize the power. Isn't it the opposite?"

"Why is Zishan so alarmist? The state system does not remain unchanged for one day. May I ask whether Xiao He and Cao Can were good prime ministers when Emperor Gaozu was in power? The first emperor was alive, and the three princes were in power, but they were ruled by eunuchs. How should we comment? Ask which is better and which is worse?" Zhou Wen asked a series of rhetorical questions, and Bu Zhi deeply felt that it was not easy to persuade Zhou Cang, first of all, he had to break through the many obstacles set by Zhou Wen.

"Hehe, Yuan Fang doesn't know something. This time I went to the Tongque Club, which is called gathering the world's talents and heroes. Looking around, it is full of Cao clansmen. Is this deceiving no one in the world, or has the world been designated as the Cao clan?" world?"

Zhou Wen nodded, thanks to his foresight, he tried his best to persuade Zhou Cang to marry two more wives, and gave birth to Zhou Ting.No way, the lord has too few heirs, how can two be enough? Cao Cao already has more than 20 sons, and he needs to take a few more concubines for Zhou Cang. Flowering and spreading leaves is the top priority, and luxuriant branches and leaves are the long-term solution.

Seeing Zhou Wen nod his head frequently, Bu Zhi thought that his provocative method worked, and he was secretly happy, but he didn't know that Zhou Wen was totally different from what he thought.

"As the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives when you are a virtuous person. Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren are all brave and resourceful. Cao Zijian's literary talent is the best in the world. They are all the pillars of the country. Why can't they be reused?" Zhou Cang laughed. It's still a bit worse.

"Don't worry about the Marquis of Liao, will Cao Cao regenerate his desire to seek rebellion?"

"Cao Mengde received the emperor's favor, how dare he seek rebellion, if he really wants to rebel, I will punish him!"

"Now, Cao Cao's wings have been formed, and it will be too late when he acquires Jingzhou, and it will be too late."

"Is Zishan afraid of Cao Cao? Even if he wins Jingzhou, Xichuan still has Liu Zhang, and your lord sits in Jiangdong. How dare he rebel?"

"If Cao Cao ordered the Marquis of Liao to send troops to Jiangdong, how should the Marquis of Liao respond?"

"Doesn't Jiangdong want to submit to the imperial court?" Zhou Cang chuckled, "The princes have been separated for a long time, and the world is now unified. Isn't it a good thing for the country and the people? Could it be that Sun Zhongmou wants to separate one side, so that our great Han country is still torn apart? ?”

Where is this going? Isn't this going to kill Tian'er?Could it be that Zhou Cang planned to let Sun Quan work for Cao Cao? "I dare to ask Marquis of Liao, if Cao Cao takes Jiangdong again and makes Marquis of Liao abandon Xuzhou, how will Marquis of Liao deal with himself? At that time, if Cao Cao usurps the throne again, how will Marquis of Liao rebel against him?"

"If there is peace in the world and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why do I, Zhou Cang, care about a Xuzhou? Zishan has repeatedly said that Cao Cao has the intention of rebelling. Is it just catching wind and shadows?"

There is no evidence, but does this kind of thing need evidence?Bu Zhi couldn't grasp Zhou Cang's pulse, all signs showed that Xu Zhou was very scruples about Cao Cao, and even a little hostile, why Zhou Cang had such an attitude.He didn't know that Zhou Cang was also in conflict. If Cao Cao really took it as his mission to calm the world, he would definitely help him. Even if he gave up Xuzhou, Cao Cao was only for his own power, so he had no choice but to stand up and resist. This was just on the front line. Between, it is difficult to grasp.

Seeming to be in an embarrassing situation for a while, Zhou Wen was still trying to find a relative for Zhou Cang, thinking about which girl would be better.Yang Rui came in from the outside and whispered in Zhou Cang's ear, "My lord, something big happened in Xudu."

Zhou Cang looked at Bu Zhi, "Zi Shan is not an outsider, but it doesn't matter."

"My lord, Kong Rong and Kong Wenju were beheaded by Cao Cao! His second son was also killed!"

"Ah?" Buzhi was taken aback, "Why?"

"I heard that when Cao Cao returned to Xudu, he sent troops to Jingzhou on the grounds that Liu Biao didn't respect the king's order, didn't pay tribute, and made a suburban sacrifice without authorization. Kong Wenju strongly opposed being kicked out of the court. He said a sentence outside the court: How can a righteous teacher be undefeated against a righteous teacher. Cao Cao was furious and wanted to punish Kong Rong for his crime, but someone impeached Kong Rong for being unfilial, and there was chaos, so Cao Cao ordered Kong Rong to be beheaded."

Zhou Cang covered his face and sighed, Kong Rong, you can't say a few words less, I asked you to compile a book and attend the Tongque Terrace meeting, why do you have to go back to Beijing, are you so unbearably lonely?Cao Cao, can't you tolerate Kong Rong now?

Buzhi was even more shocked. First, Cao Cao was so cruel and ruthless that he killed the chief scholar of the scholarly army. Second, Xuzhou knew Xu Du's every move so quickly. "Even though Kong Wenju is guilty, he is not guilty of death, let alone his family." Bu Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Marquis of Liao, Cao Cao is even more arrogant and domineering than Dong Zhuo of that day. No, this is not only arrogance and domineering to exclude dissidents, Cao thief's wolf ambition is over. There is no doubt that Liao Hou is still hesitant?"
